Are you able to get anyone to raise their hand before you even create the site? Is there anyone you already know who’d indicate they’d buy, or know someone who would?Hi, I'm interested in starting an online store probably through shopify. I know what type of products that I'd like to sell and which manufacturer that I'd contact. But before I pull the trigger and start spending money I'd like to ask if anyone has ideas on the best ways to promote and market products online? I do have some experience with ecommerce, I "unsuccessfully" opened a shopify store a few years ago and tried drop shipping but I ran into trouble getting enough traffic onto the website. My thoughts are you can have the greatest product in the world along with the best website but if no one knows about it then it's a moot point. I would love to hear from anyone with digital marketing experience or ecommerce experience? Thanks...
Make sure you also look at Google.
1) Have a look at the Google Keyword Planner for possible search volumes.
2) Then look at either the Google Ad Preview Tool or just do searches yourself. See if ads show up, study them, and their landing pages/offers. Make a note if you see Google Shopping Ads or not.
